The in-house mold workshop behind every process

Most factories buy their tooling. Hetian builds it. A dedicated 3,200 m² mold workshop with 32 specialists designs and manufactures the molds for all six major processes in-house — so new parts move from drawing to forging press without waiting on an outside tool shop.

Team

32 tooling specialists

10 designers & engineers, 3 CNC machining-center programmers, 3 fitter engineers and 16 fitters — design, programming and bench work under one roof.

Facility

3,200 m² dedicated workshop

A standalone tooling floor on the Wuhu campus, separate from the four production plants it serves.

Scope

7 mold families covered

Rubber vulcanization, aluminum die-casting, plastic injection, forging & roll-forging, stamping, machining tooling and cold-extrusion molds.

Equipment & Scope

What the workshop builds, and what it builds it with

Machinery

Workshop machinery

  • Lathes & milling machines
  • Radial drilling machines
  • Horizontal-spindle surface grinders
  • EDM (electrical discharge machining)
  • High-speed precision engraving machines

Mold Families

Seven families of molds

  • Rubber vulcanization molds
  • Aluminum die-casting molds
  • Plastic injection molds
  • Forging & roll-forging molds
  • Stamping molds
  • Machining tooling & fixtures
  • Cold-extrusion molds

Why It Matters

One tool shop, six processes

Forging, die casting, stamping & welding, rubber vulcanization, machining and assembly — every major process on this site depends on molds and fixtures. Because the tooling is designed and built in-house, product development and mold development run in parallel: strong synchronous engineering capability, from product design to mold design and manufacturing, ready to meet diverse customer requirements.
